Introduction: From Mexico, to Alaska, and even within Japan, there’s a high chance of being able to visit areas where sea otters can be sighted. Sea otters, also known scientifically as, Enhydra lutris, inhabit shallow coastal areas and they prefer places with a lot of kelp. They use the kelp surrounding them to wrap themselves in while they’re resting. They are very sociable…

Coral Reef Bleaching Coral reef bleaching, which is the whitening of diverse invertebrate taxa. The cause of the whitening is “from the loss of symbiotic zooxanthellae and/or a reduction in photosynthetic pigment concentrations in zooxanthellae residing within the gastrodermal tissues of host animals.” (P.W.Glynn) The reason why coral reef bleaching is such a concern is because the “consequences of bleaching large numbers of reef-building scleractinian corals and hydrocorals.”(P.W.Glynn)…

This article talks about how much things people are getting away in international water. One of the things that people get away with is polluting the water in the ocean intentionally. This is wrong for many reasons;the major reasons is that a lot of fishes and animals that depend on that water to live in and eat are dying because of all the oil being dumped there. Another reason is that it’s not just the ocean that is being polluted, but the air is also being polluted and that affects all of us…

jeopardy when the ocean is polluted. Ocean Pollution includes everything from the extreme to the small scale: oil spills, acid dumping and plastic pollution-- human activities and basic carelessness. Problems evolving from ocean pollution directly harm marine life and the Earth's many valuable resources. Ocean Pollution is a long-term problem that has expanded over the past few decades. In his novel The Exxon Valdez, Dils addresses what has happened with the catastrophe event of the of the…

Argumentative Essay Outline Imagine good pictures of marine life in action.Rovs ( Remotely operated vehicle ) are good for going under water without being cold. People that don’t agree would say Rovs are not valuable because they are to big. However, ROVs are ABSOLUTELY valuable to underwater research because They can go underwater to take good pictures, Rovs can bring up artifacts without freezing to death, and They are remote operated so they can do what you want them to do. The…

Growing up in the Florida Keys, I have been surrounded by the ocean my entire life and have personally witnessed it gradually get destroyed over the years. Because of tourism playing a huge role in the Florida keys, our beaches and oceans are left polluted and leaving our reefs to extinction.

In the Florida Keys and the Caribbean, there has been a vast decline in staghorn and…

These days, a mounting number of fish is caught in almost countries in the world. This phenomenon has become a matter of considerable public awareness. In my perspective, this problem can be attributed to two probable causes. In this essay, I will examine this issue and give some possible solutions. One plausible explanation for overfishing is profit-oriented of large fishing companies. Because of their lucrative target, the prominent mass fishing recent years caused biological imbalance. In…

Americans acknowledge the fact that fish are being caught in unsustainable numbers, many fail to realize that overfishing harms marine life in more ways than one. Unwanted fish are accidentally caught by fisheries and are tossed back into the water, often as dead bycatch. A fishing technique called bottom trawling scrapes the seafloor and anything in its path, destroying marine habitats. The absence of large…

Each species in the world have a specific job in our world, a niche, some species are important and get the title keystone. Keystone species have an important life, without them the ecosystem they live in will have a domino effect that will change the ecosystem or destroy it all together (Nancy, 2013). The Sea Otter (Euhydra lutris) are remarkable creatures in that they help keep their environment in check (Konar, 2000). The genus name Euhydra and the specific name lutris are both translated…

RECENT TRENDS ON PURIFICATION OF SEA WATER INTRODUCTION SEAWATER: -Sea water or salt water is water from sea or ocean. Sea or ocean water accounts for the most percentage of water on the earth. Almost anything can be found in sea water. This includes dissolved salts from earth’s crust and material released by micro organisms. It is the most impure form of natural water. Rivers join sea and throw in the impurities carried by them. Moreover continuous evaporation of water from the surface of sea…
